I actually put a timer in the car(phone app) this past weekend at Barber. My best lap was a 1:50.3 in traffic I had to let 2 cars go by.

The intermediate group that weekend with REZOOM was the fastest I have ever been in.

I am 3800 lbs with me in the car, on 275-40-17 NT-05 street tires. I finally think I am tire limited, my goal was to run a 1:49 on street tires and I know now I can do it on a clean lap.

What tires do you guys think I should go to? NT-01, R888, R6?

I don't think I can move to a 315 square setup, I saw a pic of the car in between turn 12-13 and the left front is shoved all the way up in the fender, only and inch of the tire is visible the lip of the rim is almost even with the top fender.

This was the first weekend with some real front camber in the car (1.9 degrees) and the Raybestos ST47/ST43 pad combo. Pads have the highest bite I have had yet, incredible stopping power. The ST43 is too much pad for the rear though.

Any help is appreciated.

Here is a vid of a session on Sunday. Almost every car out there was on some kind of good tire, at least as good as what I have all the way to full slicks.

What kind of camera are you using and was it zoomed in? If it is, that kills the sense of speed. Plus if you zoom it out, we could see more of you, which is also helpful.

I have NT01's and I really liked them. Big step up from street tires. Have you been on track tires yet?

The Camera is an old FLIP Video camera, I have it that far forward so I can reach it to turn it on while strapped in the seat. It doesn't have a zoom on it.

I bought a DRIFT HD 720 camera back in Feb, pulled it out to use and the battery was bad and could not get one in time for the event.

Best tires I have been on is the NT-05 which is a 200 tread wear street tire.
